Solar microinverters and power optimizers refer to the devices used in photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems to enhance performance and efficiency, especially in installations with shading or complex roof designs of solar panels. They convert DC (direct current) electricity generated by individual solar panels into AC (alternating current) electricity, while power optimizers maximize the overall energy output of the system by optimizing the performance of each panel.
The main types of products in solar microinverters and power optimizers are microinverters and power optimizers. A microinverter is referred to as a small inverter installed at the individual solar panel site, converting the electricity from the panel into usable electricity. They are also classified by connection, such as freestanding and on-grid, and are used in various applications, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and utility.

The solar microinverter and power optimizer market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.97 billion in 2024 to $5.67 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to integration with energy storage, increasing popularity and adoption of solar power, surging installations of solar products, growth of smart homes and smart energy management systems, demand for microinverters that can integrate with modern energy systems.
The solar microinverter and power optimizer market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for solar power, residential sector growth, enhanced power harvesting systems, growing adoption of photovoltaic systems, and favorable government incentives. Major trends in the forecast period include government incentives, technological advancements, residential sector dominance, rising investments, product innovations.
The rising demand for electricity is expected to drive the growth of the solar microinverter and power optimizer markets. Electricity demand refers to the rate at which electricity is consumed at a specific moment, representing the immediate amount of electrical power being used, as opposed to energy (kWh), which measures total power consumption over time. Solar microinverters and power optimizers are critical components in maximizing energy harvest and optimizing the performance of individual solar panels in a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. These devices enable the conversion, optimization, and monitoring of solar energy, ensuring its efficient utilization in electricity generation. For instance, in January 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, global electricity demand grew by 2.2% in 2023. In 2022, electricity demand in the United States increased by 2.6%. As a result, the growing demand for electricity is driving the expansion of the solar microinverter and power optimizer markets.
Major companies operating in the solar microinverter and power optimizer market are developing innovative products with advanced technologies, such as IQ8P microinverters, to meet the evolving needs of the solar energy industry. Microinverters are devices used in solar power systems to convert direct-current (DC) electricity generated by individual solar panels into alternating-current (AC) electricity. For instance, in November 2023, Enphase Energy, a US-based energy technology company, launched its new IQ8P microinverters in Mexico. These microinverters are designed to support newer, higher-powered solar modules, with a peak output power of 480 watts and the ability to manage a continuous DC, thereby increasing energy harvesting. In addition, these features collectively position the IQ8P microinverter as a high-performing, reliable, and versatile solution for both residential and commercial solar energy systems. Also, this innovative product is essential to address the increasing global demand for solar energy and offers significant benefits in terms of energy production, efficiency, and reliability.
In June 2022, SolarEdge Technologies, an Israel-based smart energy technology that develops solar inverter systems and power optimizers, partnered with Shawton Energy to accelerate the adoption of solar energy in the UK's C&I sector by making it more accessible, affordable, and efficient for businesses. They combined their strengths in technology, financing, and project development to offer a compelling solution to potential customers. Shawton Energy is a UK-based provider of solar PV (photovoltaic) inverters, solar PV carports, and battery energy storage systems.
